}}The '''European Foundation for Management Development''' ('''EFMD''') is an international not-for-profit association based in [[Brussels]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=L'European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD)|url=http://www.groupeiam.com/index.php/accueil-efmd/72-international/organismes-internationaux-de-labellisation/100-l-european-foundation-for-management-development-efmd|access-date=4 June 2014|archive-date=22 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822223557/http://www.groupeiam.com/index.php/accueil-efmd/72-international/organismes-internationaux-de-labellisation/100-l-european-foundation-for-management-development-efmd|url-status=dead}}</ref> Europe's largest network association in the field of management development,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mba-courses.com/efmd.htm |title=European Foundation for Management Development: EQUIS Accreditation: A Level of Quality |work=MBA Courses Worldwide |publisher=Sandringham Publishing Ltd |access-date=19 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126194307/http://mba-courses.com/efmd.htm |archive-date=26 November 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> it has over 890 member organizations from [[academia]], business, public service and consultancy in 88 countries (as of September 2017). EFMD provides a forum for networking in [[management development]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=European Foundation for Management Development|url=http://10times.com/organizers/european-foundation-for-management-development-efmd}}</ref>

EFMD operates the '''EFMD Quality Improvement System''' ([[EFMD Quality Improvement System|EQUIS]]), which is one of the leading international systems of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. It is comparable to its American equivalent [[Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business]] and provides a forum for information, research, networking and debate on innovation and best practice in management development.<ref>{{cite news |title= Hayleys case study by INSEAD wins top award in Europe |location=Sri Lanka |newspaper=[[The Daily Mirror (Sri Lanka)|The Daily Mirror]] |date=3 June 2010 |url=http://www.dailymirror.lk/print/index.php/business/127-local/12150.html |access-date=19 August 2010}}</ref>

The foundation also runs the '''EFMD Programme Accreditation System''' ('''EPAS''') for programmes as well as the EFMD Deans Across Frontiers development programme (EDAF) and the Business School Impact System (BSIS).<ref>{{cite journal|title=European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD)|url=http://www.unprme.org/about-prme/governance/efmd.php|access-date=4 June 2014|archive-date=17 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817121059/http://www.unprme.org/about-prme/governance/efmd.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Types of accreditation ==

While the [[EQUIS]] accreditation process, which is valid for an entire school (or faculty), is the main type of accreditation EFMD offers, there are a variety of other accreditations available. With EPAS<ref>{{cite web |title= EPAS Accreditation EFMD Programme accreditation System (EPAS) |url= http://www.efmd.org/index.php/services-for-business-schools/epas-accreditation |access-date= 1 November 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100920061119/http://www.efmd.org/index.php/services-for-business-schools/epas-accreditation |archive-date= 20 September 2010 |url-status= dead }}</ref> it is possible for business schools to have certain degree programs accredited rather than the entire school. This variant somewhat resembles the AMBA ([[Association of MBAs]]) accreditation, as the London-based Association accredits the school's entire portfolio of [[MBA]] programs, but does not accredit the entire business school. EFMD also offers an [[accreditation for online courses]] (EOCCS) and for corporate learning (CLIP).

== EFMD activities ==

EFMD is the European partner in the [[China Europe International Business School]] ([[CEIBS]]), a joint venture with [[Shanghai Jiaotong University]] established as the first international business school in [[China]] with autonomous status in 1994, under an agreement between the [[European Commission]] and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.<ref>{{cite web |title= Global Initiatives |url= http://www.efmd.org/images/stories/efmd/downloadables/EFMD_About_EFMD_Update_2011_ONLINE.pdf |access-date= 24 May 2012 }}{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
EFMD is also founding partner of the Global Foundation for Management Education (GFME), which is a joint venture with the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business ([[AACSB]] International).<ref>{{cite web |title= Global Initiatives |url= http://www.efmd.org/images/stories/efmd/downloadables/EFMD_About_EFMD_Update_2011_ONLINE.pdf |access-date= 24 May 2012 }}{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> EFMD organizes conferences and seminars around the world for management development industry and published the [http://globalfocusmagazine.com Global Focus magazine].
